Building Thinkers: Accessible Blueprints for Learning & Life

Tracy Clark

Éducation

Fréquence : 1 épisode/16j. Total Éps: 97

Building Thinkers is based on the realization that there is exponential potential in the things we build, from mindsets and behaviors, to resumes and meal-plans, but sometimes insights and impact seem out of reach or overly complex. In the Building Thinkers podcast we will explore a wide range of topics (business, education, organization, habits, therapy, finances, research to name a few) unpacking the design, strategy, and details behind the things we build to create accessible blueprints for you to explore and apply to your own learning and life. There is no limit to what you can learn.

What Lurking on Social Media Reveals About How We Learn

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

vendredi 1 novembre 2024 • Durée 50:04

This conversation with Dr. Gina Sipley stretched me in the best kind of way.

In this episode, we dig into one of my twelve favorite problems: How might we create space for mindset shifts in learning experiences? Gina is a community college professor, a first-generation college graduate, and someone who’s deeply committed to building inclusive spaces where people can explore how texts (both online and offline) shape who we are.

We talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention: lurking in online spaces. You know, the quiet observing, the not-posting, the watching from the sidelines. We explore what it means for learning, how it can be both helpful and harmful, and what it looks like to engage meaningfully, especially when perfectionism and fear are holding people back.

This episode is about making room. Room for mindset shifts. Room for silent learners. Room for diverse voices. And room for a more mindful relationship with social media that allows us to curate instead of just consume.

Key Takeaways:

Lurking has become the dominant way we interact online

Curating diverse perspectives on social media is crucial

Protective curation helps individuals navigate online spaces

Engagement with social media should be mindful and intentional

This Is What’s Wrong With Traditional Company Culture

Saison 2 · Épisode 10

vendredi 28 juin 2024 • Durée 52:27

If your team feels overwhelmed or disconnected, the problem might be cultural, not operational.

I sit down with Alma Quiroga to unpack how we might bring impactful order out of chaos. And wow, this conversation is one that made me completely rethink how stories shape the way we lead.

Alma shares her journey of challenging traditional business norms and building people-first organizational cultures. We talk about the quiet power of storytelling, not just as a leadership skill, but as the foundation of how culture is created and how behavior is shaped from the inside out.

We explore what it means to recognize and work with the stories that already exist within your team, and how to create environments where people can thrive, not in spite of chaos, but through it.

If you’re a leader navigating change, culture shifts, or just craving more meaning in the way your organization operates, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

Storytelling is deeply ingrained in human nature and is how we relate to each other.

Our brains are wired to make sense of the world through storytelling, and humans naturally order the chaos of the world and their own internal world in a story format.

Understanding how humans make sense through story is essential for effective communication and change management in organizations.

By recognizing the power of storytelling and creating spaces for collective storytelling, organizations can co-create their culture and navigate transitions more successfully.

The Real Reason You're Tired All the Time

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

vendredi 14 juin 2024 • Durée 51:21

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode is for you.

I’m chatting with Shani Persson, co-founder of Wonder, about what it means to "be where your feet are.” We unpack what being truly present looks like, not just as a buzzword, but as a way of living and working that honors us as whole human beings with brains, bodies, and lives.

We dive into why it’s so hard to stay connected to ourselves in today’s nonstop world, and how self-awareness and self-inquiry can help us create work and life experiences that actually feel meaningful. We also talk about the power and challenge of saying no, and why listening to ourselves is a radical act of care.

Key Takeaways:

Recognize the importance of being present and enjoying the process, rather than constantly striving for the next thing.

Learn to say no and set boundaries to maintain energy and focus. The facade of control can lead to addictive behaviors and a constant need for dopamine hits.

The awareness of mortality can awaken us to what truly matters in life and help us reevaluate our priorities.

Being present and letting go of urgency can bring more joy and clarity to our lives.

How to Stop Self-Doubt from Ruining Your Life

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

vendredi 31 mai 2024 • Durée 51:48

What if the voice in your head that’s holding you back isn’t actually you?

In this episode of Building Thinkers, I’m talking with Sara Huang about how to rewrite those limiting beliefs that keep us stuck.

Sara is an expert facilitator and designer who works with creative conflict resolution and collaboration. We dive into practical ways to identify and change those mental patterns, including concepts like “edge figures” and why creating safe spaces for growth is so essential.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by self-doubt or stuck in old stories, this conversation offers fresh tools and hope to help you rewrite your inner narrative and open up new possibilities.

Key Takeaways:

Create space for self-reflection and connection to rewrite limiting beliefs and build a brighter future.

Shift limiting beliefs by understanding their energy and using it to propel yourself towards new possibilities.

Starting with what resonates (sparks interest), moving to imitation (practicing and experimenting), and finally reaching creation (applying and innovating in one's unique context).

How might we create space for mindset shifts in learning experiences? with Lily Higgins

Saison 2 · Épisode 6

vendredi 19 avril 2024 • Durée 47:29

In this episode, Tracy is joined by Lily Higgins, the founder of The Intervention Bureau, a learning experience design consultancy where she partners with agencies and thought-leaders to design signature sessions fueling her crusade against boring, ineffective workshops. They discuss the importance of creating space for mindset shift within learning experiences and the role of facilitation as an act of love. Lily shares insights on the power of play and the concept of life as a game. They also explore her signature “Serendipity Walk” experience. The conversation highlights the transformative potential of experiences and the importance of autonomy and ownership in learning.

Key Takeaways:

Facilitation is an act of love. Facilitators hold space for groups to tap into their collective wisdom and create something greater than the sum of their parts.
Autonomy is crucial for mindset shifts. Learners need to feel ownership over their learning journeys to integrate new ideas and make meaningful changes.
Life is a game, and we can redesign it. Game Thinking helps us see the world as a series of games with rules, roles, goals, time, space, and objects. We can change our behavior and shift systems by tweaking any of these elements. Instead of focusing solely on changing people's mindsets, we can look for ways to redesign the game itself.

vendredi 5 avril 2024 • Durée 56:28

In this episode, Tracy and Hannah discuss the importance of being present and intentional in our lives.

They emphasize the importance of taking aligned actions and finding sustainability in growth and action.

Takeaways

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention on purpose in the present moment, non-judgmentally.
Practicing mindfulness through meditation helps to exercise the mindfulness muscle and live a life of peace and fulfillment.
Being fully present in the moment amplifies happiness and reduces ruminations about the past and anxiety about the future.
Taking aligned actions and finding sustainability in growth and action are key to living a fulfilled life.
